Why I Hate Women (2006)

Two Girls (One Bar).
In this bar the beer won't work on me.
In this bar beer don't work on me.
All the men that hang around they are prayin they are free.
All the women that hang around are lookin for a Bukowski.
But the rails have turned to rust,
and I see you laughin at the sea.
E pluribus unum, honey - the dust will set us free.
Is that fire in your eye?

On another night -
On another world -
In another planetary system -
I mighta been your lover.
I might've been your friend.
I might've been something in your life.
But the rails have turned to rust,
and I see you laughing at the sea
E pluribus unum, honey - the dust will set us free.
Is that fire in your eye?

Babylonian Warehouses.(There is a house I know and it's called The Dust In My Eye, The Dust In My Eye.)

There is a town I know with a street that's weird - it's silent.
On a street I go is a house with the name The Dust In My Eye.
Last night I dreamt & it seemed so clear - you were there, you were there.
Last night I dreamt & it seemed so clear.
And I know that it's you.
So I hope that it's you.
I fear it's you, so I hope it's you.
And I know that it's you.
So I hope that it's you.
I fear it's you, so I hope it's you.

In the dusk of the day under old city walls I howl.
And I call for a light and I howl like it's lust - only the drunks are out.
And they know my name and they all like to say, We're glad that you're here.
We're glad that you're here.
And I know that it's you.
So I hope that it's you.
I fear it's you, so I hope it's you.
And I know that it's you.
So I hope that it's you.
I fear it's you, so I hope it's you.

Blue Velvet.
In my head is a white room where all the good things go.
A man with a bag walks into -
Leaves it on the floor and goes.
Goodbye, Mr Man.
See you again, see you again next Tuesday.
Lost luggage, broken keys, and an empty room -
I've got a job for life.
I got a job for life.
I got a job for life.
I am free.
I am free.
There is a shadow hangin over me.
It's dark and gray and blocks the sun,
and I think it's you.
The sun does not warm me.
The clean rain does not fall.

In my head is a white room where all the good things go.
A man with a bag walks in,
drops it on the floor and he goes.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.

Caroleen.
Baby, oh Fire, light my life on fire.
Baby, oh Fire, light my life on fire.
That junk is oh so flammable.
That flame is not containable.
Baby on fire -
She is incendiarial.

And in the cool hours of the nite
she kisses me and it rips my head off.
You know her name,
it rhymes with gasoline.
Her perfume, I think it's turpenteen.
And I feel alive.
And I hope it's love.
Caroleen.

And in the dawn of the day,
when the sun sets the night on fire and it has burned away,
she looks at me with those eyes.
She looks at me with those eyes
and I say, "Honey, light it up!"
And I feel alive.
And I hope it's love.
Caroleen.

I love the way she smells,
the way her scent hangs on the morning dew.
She wakes my dreams up.
She shakes my dreams apart.
You know her name,
it rhymes with gasoline.
Her perfume, I think it's turpenteen.
And I feel alive.
And I hope it's love.
Caroleen.

Flames Over Nebraska.
I know a radio is playin somewhere.
I know cuz it must be so.
Or I'm thinkin too loud,
maybe drivin too hard?
It's a darkness that's drowning me.
I know what I know.
A teardrop is on the door,
and flies on the window -
Desk clerk is hopin I might disappear.
A voice in the room says, Nebraska is oh so near.

Neon abounds and it shows on my eye.
In the dark I hope it looks like flames.
Somebody says I have a flair with the truth.
That thought will comfort me.
I know what I know.
A teardrop is on the door,
and flies on the window -
Desk clerk is hopin I might disappear.
A voice in the room says, Nebraska is oh so here.

Out on the night I can feel the darkness as it folds in round me.
I feel the eyes of a thousand spies.
That thought sure does comfort me.
I know what I know.
A teardrop is on the door,
and flies on the window -
Desk clerk is hopin I might disappear.
A voice in the room said, Nebraska is oh so near.
I know what I know.
A teardrop is on the door,
and flies on the window -
Desk clerk is hopin I might disappear.
A voice in the room says, Nebraska is oh so here.

Love Song.
My eyes are growin tentacles for to grab you.
My eyes are growin hand grenades for to have you.
My eyes are growin tentacles for to grab you.
I live in a house without any windows.

My hands are growin spectacles for to grab you.
My hands are growin half the night for to have you.
My hands are growin spectacles for to grab you.
My hands are growin spectacles.
I live in a house without any windows.
I got a 40 watt bulb to light up my life.

My eyes are growin tentacles for to grab you.
My eyes are growin hand grenades for to have you.
My eyes are growin tentacles for to grab you.
My eyes are growin hand grenades.
I live in a house without any windows.
I got a 40 watt bulb to light up my life.

My Boyfriend's Back.
I don't wanna know why I leave you if I love you.
I don't wanna know why I found you if I've lost you.
I don't wanna know why I lose you if I love you.
I don't wanna know why I've found you if leave you.
I don't wanna know why I lose you if I've lost you.

Johnny Two-Toes says to Betty Groove.

I wait for the dawn but I fear the dawn will not come back.

There's something that's closin down on me feels like a hand grabbed round my throat.
